did you actually read the changes to the law that were linked in the wikipedia article all it does is add the words gender identity or expression to the canadian human rights code when it lists all of the groups who cant be discriminated against its a stretch to say that not using a preferred pronoun is hate speech if it were then referring to a woman as miss or mrs instead of ms would be prosecutable since gender discrimination is covered in the same law but screaming were beating you up because you are a tranny freak while beating someone would probably be evidence that its a hate crime the professor got a lot of media attention but it simply isnt supported in the law
